The William Floyd High School Theater Arts program presents the latest fall theater production of Puffs featuring the talented theater arts students for two nights only on Friday, November 7, and Saturday, November 8, both at 6:30 pm in the Nick Poulos Auditorium at William Floyd High School. 'Puffs' is a fast-paced romp through seven years at a certain magical school, seen through the eyes of the students who didn’t exactly save the world, but tried really hard. This isn’t the story of the boy with the scar, he is busy. It’s the story of the Puffs. The underdogs who remind us that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just show up.
